US Open Tips: Day 13 – Women’s Final

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Madison Keys v Sloane Stephens</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></b><span style="background-color: white;">The Wolf tipped both Keys and Stepehns to win their respective semi’s but it was the manner in which Keys made it to the final that has her incorrectly installed as a firm favourite. This one should be much closer to a flip and Stephens is not being given the respect she deserves. She was incredible in the third set against Venus and her defence has been spectacular throughout the tournament. Sloane has proven that she can both handle and repel her opponents power which will allow her to frustrate Keys. Keys blasted her way past Vandeweghe but will not be afforded the same comfort against Stephens who is a superior athlete to Coco. Stephens also got the better of Keys in straight sets in their only meeting in Miami back in 2015. The Wolf says not to be fooled by Stephens ranking of 83. Over the last 3 weeks she has the most wins of any lady on the tour and has registered a handful of win over top class opponents including Kvitova, Kerber, Cibulkova, Safarova and Venus. There will be twists and turns and The Wolf says this one will be going the distance! He thinks Sloane will outlast Keys.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best: Over 21.5 games ($1.80)</span></strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG9dZdhwJPbHzzNy6fQWYhjB34FrOXkYkfEpA6KyjyDNF9lRIR-fa7BfMlw4mmDMHBuejls81M_uQeMsjNh5vVzWzT_hyphenhyphenCEtH_kQcxZCnsMubyg4JmVqgbDIIaTDlDFoDmJI4ruDb7-ZA/s1600/844051946.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG9dZdhwJPbHzzNy6fQWYhjB34FrOXkYkfEpA6KyjyDNF9lRIR-fa7BfMlw4mmDMHBuejls81M_uQeMsjNh5vVzWzT_hyphenhyphenCEtH_kQcxZCnsMubyg4JmVqgbDIIaTDlDFoDmJI4ruDb7-ZA/s640/844051946.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></span>

They're almost certain to face a relegation battle, meaning this could conceivably be PSG's easiest away game of the campaign.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's a risk PSG may ease off if and when they go a couple of goals up - especially with the Champions League group stages getting under way next week - but they've already won 3-0 at Guingamp this season and have a wealth of options up front. It's also worth noting that any attacking substitutes that come on will have a point to prove after being pushed down the pecking order by <span style="font-weight: 600;">Neymar and Kylian Mbappe</span> (with the latter expected to make his debut this weekend).</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a full guide to Asian Handicap betting, click <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-weight: 600; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">here</span>.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">PSG -2.5 Asian handicap @</span> <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="10/11">1.90</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Troyes v Toulouse</span><br />Sat, 19:00 BST</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After making a good start to the season the reality of life in Ligue 1 has bitten for Troyes. The promoted side picked up four points from their opening two matches but have since lost against Nantes (1-0) and Bordeaux (2-1), struggling to impress on each occasion.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Toulouse have won two and lost two but their two losses came against last season's top two, Monaco and PSG. They beat Montpellier (1-0) and Rennes (3-2) and have the makings of a good side: <span style="font-weight: 600;">centre-backs Christopher Jullien and Issa Diop are totemic presences in both penalty areas</span>, while Max Gradel and Jimmy Durmaz are useful attacking foils for strikers Ola Toivonen and Andy Delort.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Troyes are a good footballing side but can be found wanting athletically and may struggle to fend off more physical opponents. Look out for Jullien and Diop excelling at attacking set-pieces, and back the visitors to avoid defeat.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Toulouse Draw No Bet @</span> <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="5/6">1.85</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Marseille v Rennes</span><br />Sun, 20:00 BST<br />Live on BT Sport 2</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marseille will be smarting from their 6-1 defeat at Monaco a fortnight ago and that humiliating setback will make them all the more determined to bounce back by winning this weekend.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's safe to assume Marseille will post an attacking performance. The hosts may be more potent in attack than in recent outings as <span style="font-weight: 600;">Dimitri Payet</span> is set to return from injury.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rennes are yet to win this season and cannot afford to sit back as their defending has left much to be desired this season (eight goals conceded in four matches). Instead they'll look to exploit weakness in the hosts' defence: for Marseille, Brazil holding midfielder <span style="font-weight: 600;">Luiz Gustavo</span> is suspended, centre-back <span style="font-weight: 600;">Adil Rami</span> is out and fellow centre-back <span style="font-weight: 600;">Aymen Abdennour</span>, who joined on transfer deadline day, will take time to settle in.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All things considered an attacking encounter is likely.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Over 2.5 Goals @ </span><span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline: none; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative; transition: color 0.2s;" title="5/6">1.85</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline: none; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative; transition: color 0.2s;" title="5/6"><br /></span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwSveS4w1KeajSwRAeb6AirtLG-xx8hn3lE9wlMBiYYiRfQwm3-dKJflnu-1lsju1Rv6LPiR8-x_rSU6-fothhJvP20MznyZrO_25jrYWiuD6LSTy1TopqQjMrsWPWjewE3nxQOfqrUPY/s1600/neymar-marco-verratti-psg-toulouse-ligue-1-20082017_mvsqwun19wr3110niiquh5ppg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwSveS4w1KeajSwRAeb6AirtLG-xx8hn3lE9wlMBiYYiRfQwm3-dKJflnu-1lsju1Rv6LPiR8-x_rSU6-fothhJvP20MznyZrO_25jrYWiuD6LSTy1TopqQjMrsWPWjewE3nxQOfqrUPY/s640/neymar-marco-verratti-psg-toulouse-ligue-1-20082017_mvsqwun19wr3110niiquh5ppg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

La Liga Betting: Barcelona's derby form against Espanyol too strong to ignore

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Real Madrid v Levante</span><br />Saturday, 12:00<br />Live on Sky Sports Football and Betfair Live Video</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's the third of four consecutive home games for Real Madrid, who were given just <span style="font-weight: 600;">the most gentle prod of a wake-up call</span> a fortnight ago. Some were already coronating Zinedine Zidane's charges as 2017/18 champions - they were and remain this column's pick - but Madrid were the first of the Big Two to drop points, drawing 2-2 with an energetic Valencia side at the Bernabéu.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In truth, that game could easily have ended in defeat, especially if <span style="font-weight: 600;">Marco Asensio</span>had not activated god mode once more. Yet there's no real reason for any great concern and appointments against Levante and APOEL in the capital look very inviting as the champions look to launch their season properly on two fronts.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">The Frogs have made a solid enough start</span> to life back in Primera, grinding a win against Villarreal in Jornada 1 and coming from behind to draw 2-2 with Deportivo La Coruña. In both games they netted important late goals, suggesting the belief instilled in the side by Juan Muñiz during their promotion season is still present. Yet this is their <span style="font-weight: 600;">first away fixture</span> of the campaign and could well be an eye-opener as far as quality goes.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Levante are without influential midfielder <span style="font-weight: 600;">José Luis Morales</span> (suspended), while Madrid are boosted by the return of <span style="font-weight: 600;">Sergio Ramos</span> at the back. That will raise hopes of a clean sheet against a side who haven't scored in their last three league visits to the Bernabéu, and with a Champions League game on the horizon, the smart money may be on a businesslike home victory.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Back Real Madrid to win and under 3.5 goals at 2/1</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Valencia v Atlético Madrid</span><br />Saturday, 15:15<br />Live on Betfair Live Video</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This column had little to no reason to back Valencia at any stage last season, but it's worth breaking form when they host Atlético Madrid this weekend. Los Che were impressive at the Bernabéu before the international break: new signings Geoffrey Kondogbia and Jeison Murillo made good contributions and there was a reminder that <span style="font-weight: 600;">this is a squad bursting with home-grown talent</span> (José Gayá, Toni Lato and Carlos Soler all did well). There's no way Marcelino's side should be fighting a relegation battle this year.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Atlético pummelled Las Palmas last weekend, as expected, but struggled against a less flimsy side a week earlier (2-2 vs Girona) and have an important <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-weight: 600; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Champions League match against Roma</span> coming up on Tuesday night, so <span style="font-weight: 600;">their attentions may be divided</span>. Throw in the absence of Antoine Griezmann and we have the basis of a good argument for opposing them. We'll stop short of backing Valencia to beat Atleti, who are unbeaten in 13 away games in La Liga, but they can certainly avoid defeat.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recommended Bet<br /><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Back Valencia +0.5 (2pts) at</span> <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="4/5">1.78</span></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Barcelona v Espanyol</span><br />Saturday, 19:45<br />Live on Sky Sports Football and Betfair Live Video</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is altogether too early to say whether the arrival of <span style="font-weight: 600;">Ousmane Dembélé</span> will be a catalyst for a proper revival, but <span style="font-weight: 600;">at least Barcelona were able to muster some sort of reaction late in the transfer window</span>. The outlook remains somewhat cloudy for the Catalans, but they do now at least have a player of real quality to fill the gaping, <span style="font-weight: 600;">Neymar-shaped hole</span> in their starting XI in the months to come.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A derby debut could be in the offing for Dembélé on Saturday, but the return of <span style="font-weight: 600;">Luis Suárez</span> after injury will arguably be the greater boost for Barça. The Uruguayan missed the first two games of the season but played for his country in World Cup qualifiers and should be at the disposal of Ernesto Valverde here.

We shouldn't be discouraged by one misfire.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Torino's statistics also indicate that they tend to be involved in games with goals: their <span style="font-weight: 600;">last nine away from home have resulted in both teams scoring</span>, and last weekend's fortunate clean sheet against Sassuolo was their first in 20 games. They have a man in form in Adem Ljajic, though, and will pose a threat to the newbies from Campania.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Benevento look a big price to beat an overrated Torino at</span> <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="7/2">4.60</span></span>, but I think that <span style="font-weight: 600;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Over 3.5 Goals is reasonably priced at</span> <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="15/8">2.90</span></span>.

Suffer a similar fate here and already Eusebio Di Francesco will be feeling the heat.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marco Giampaolo is a really clever Coach, and he'll have watched the way that Inter dealt with Roma's deficiencies, and while he doesn't have Mauro Icardi to take advantage, he does have an <span style="font-weight: 600;">in form Fabio Quagliarella</span>, the veteran who is proving that he still retains plenty of ability.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roma may have only scored once in each of their opening two games, but they hit the woodwork three times against Inter and I don't think that their performance deserved to be criticised quite as much as it was.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are defensive issues with both of these sides, though: Roma have allowed 14 shots on target in their opening two games, with Samp one of only two teams to have conceded more.

While Hoffenheim have no pretensions to win the title, last season's <span style="font-weight: 600;">excellence</span>didn't go unnoticed, and Bayern swooped.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dominant defender Niklas Sule and midfield general <span style="font-weight: 600;">Sebastian Rudy</span> have both made the trip from Sinsheim to Munich, and both have made an early impact. Sule scored in his Bundesliga debut for Bayern, while Rudy's calm and assured displays in midfield have already seen him dubbed as a successor to Xabi Alonso, which is high praise indeed.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next big name to make the switch from Hoffe to Bayern may not be a player. 30-year-old <span style="font-weight: 600;">Julian Nagelsmann</span> continues to build a reputation as one of the brightest young coaches on the planet, he followed Bayern as a boy, and was only born 65 kilometres west of Munich. Although he has denied any immediate plans to move to the Allianz Arena, his current career trajectory seems to lead to just one destination.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although Hoffenheim crashed out of the Champions League to Liverpool, they have made a solid start to the Bundesliga season. They beat Werder Bremen 1-0, and twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Bayer Leverkusen. However, their resources will be stretched this weekend by injuries to <span style="font-weight: 600;">Serge Gnabry,</span> Adam Szalai, Kevin Vogt, Benjamin Hubner and Steven Zuber.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bayern have personnel issues too. <span style="font-weight: 600;">David Alaba</span> was injured on duty with Austria, so Rafinha will fill in. <span style="font-weight: 600;">James Rodriguez</span> may finally make his Bayern debut after playing for Colombia against Brazil, but having played the full 90 minutes of that qualifier, he may only be a substitute.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bayern have taken maximum points from two games, but they haven't really hit top gear yet, and they had a lot of players spread across the globe on international duty. Hoffenheim took four points off them last season, and haven't lost a Bundesliga home game since May 2016.

HSV are joint-top after winning both games so far. They haven't exactly sparkled in their wins over Augsburg and Koln, but they've shown plenty of grit, and a clinical edge in attack. American striker <span style="font-weight: 600;">Bobby Wood</span>has been scoring for club and country, but now has to maintain that momentum, despite doubts over his fitness because of jet-lag.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leipzig needed a superb second-half display to thrash Freiburg on Matchday Two, as they came from behind, and they seem a bit too short here at <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-weight: 600; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="20/21"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">1.97</span></span>.

His side swept away Wolfsburg 3-0 at the Volkswagen Arena, and then beat Hertha Berlin 2-0 at Signal Iduna Park. Teenage superstar <span style="font-weight: 600;">Christian Pulisic</span> is stepping up to compensate for the departure of Ousmane Dembele, while the arrival of Ukrainian wing wizard Andriy Yarmolenko adds to the dizzying array of attacking talent at Bosz's disposal.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last season, Dortmund won 3-0 and 3-1 against Freiburg, and I suspect another handsome victory is on the cards. Freiburg lost Vincenzo Grifo and <span style="font-weight: 600;">Maximilian Philipp</span> in the summer (Philipp went to BVB), departures which have robbed them of a huge chunk of creativity.

Manchester United have soared to the summit of the Premier League and will aim to continue their perfect start to the season at Stoke in Saturday's late kick off. Jose Mourinho's side have been <span style="font-weight: 600;">rampant </span>in the opening exchanges of the campaign, but it's their trip to the Bet365 Stadium that could present their first major obstacle.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Games against West Ham, Swansea and Leicester City were easily navigable, but <span style="font-weight: 600;">a trip to Stoke is never easy</span>, regardless of their good form. The Potters picked up a 1-0 home win over Arsenal last month and are <span style="font-weight: 600;">unbeaten </span>in their last four home meetings with United, winning two. That would have been three wins from four had a late Juan Mata goal not rescued a point for the Red Devils last time out. A solid 1-1 draw at West Brom prior to the international break provides a solid foundation to build upon, even if the welcome of United is a considerable threat for the Potters.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <span style="font-weight: 600;">Mourinho factor </span>will also play a part in the match up, with the Portuguese boss failing to win any of the last four competitive matches he has overseen against Stoke, drawing three and losing one.<span style="font-weight: 600;"> Mark Hughes</span> is unbeaten in his last three meetings with Mourinho and is looking to become just the second manager to go four or more matches without defeat against the charismatic 54-year-old, who has lost his fourth match of the league season in four of his last five managerial campaigns.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <h3 style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Middling form a concern for Hughes</span></span></h3> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditionally strong at home, though, Stoke have lost three of their last six league matches at the Bet365 Stadium and have just won two of those six, and United will hope to exploit their recent <span style="font-weight: 600;">underwhelming home form</span>.

United may have brushed aside West Ham and Swansea with ease, but Stoke are notoriously difficult to break down. With <span style="font-weight: 600;">Jack Butland </span>back to full fitness and operating behind a defence containing <span style="font-weight: 600;">Ryan Shawcross</span>, <span style="font-weight: 600;">Kurt Zouma</span> and the recently acquired<span style="font-weight: 600;"> Kevin Wimmer</span>, this one could be a low scoring affair.

Had it not been for a superb Kasper Schmeichel penalty stop in Leicester's 2-0 loss at Old Trafford, that return would look all the better, but the 24-year-old's impact is not to be scoffed at in the wake of his move to United. He's scored three in his last four league meetings against Stoke, and 16 in his last 18 Premier League appearances.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-weight: 600; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">Betfair's Sportsbook makes the Belgian 10/11 to score anytime</span>, but you can back him to be the first to hit the back of the net at 11/4. Lukaku netted the first goal in United's 4-0 win over West Ham earlier in the campaign and was first on the scoresheet that last time he netted in the Premier League against the Potters. An average of 4.7 shots per game - second only to Harry Kane (8) - this season suggests real confidence in his pursuit of goal.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <h3 style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ref Watch</span></span></h3> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">Neil Swarbrick </span>is the man in the middle, and to some he is considered a lucky referee for Stoke.

Those points were secured in vastly contrasting ways, however, and it's a little tricky to get a grip on the south coast side right now. Former manager Claude Puel was criticised for his overly defensive methods but a pair of 0-0 draws suggest little has changed so far under Mauricio Pellegrini. And yet the solitary win in their Premier League sequence was a madcap 3-2 defeat of West Ham when the opposition were reduced to 10 men but so nearly forced a draw out of the trip to St Mary's.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pellegrini has <span style="font-weight: 600;">no major injury concerns</span> ahead of this fixture.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <h3 style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Good vibes at Vicarage Road as clubs moves on from Mazzarri</span></span></h3> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a <span style="font-weight: 600;">sprightly start</span> for the Hornets under <span style="font-weight: 600;">Marco Silva</span> and the club go into this fixture one place ahead of Saturday's opponents. That gap could have been bigger were it not for Miguel Britos's sending-off against Brighton last time out in the Premier League, the game petering out to a 0-0 draw thereafter. Summer signings <span style="font-weight: 600;">Richarlison</span> and <span style="font-weight: 600;">Andre Gray </span>have added threat to the attack,<span style="font-weight: 600;"> Nathan Chalobah</span> has made the England squad three games into his Watford career proper and all-in-all this just seems a positive time to be a Watford fan.<br /><br />Britos's suspension means there will be a reshuffle at the back.

St Mary's wasn't much of a fortress last year and this Saints side remains largely the same as Puel's. It wouldn't surprise me if they dropped points against Watford, but rather than take those huge odds on the away win we can back them in the <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-weight: 600; outline-color: initial; outline-width: initial; transition: color 0.2s;">double chance market at</span> <span class="inline-odds" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; padding: 0px 2px 1px; position: relative;" title="7/5">2.42</span> and have the draw on our side too.

It's important then that Leicester start putting some points on the board, in a month where Liverpool will visit the King Power Stadium and face potentially tricky away trips to Huddersfield and Bournemouth.<br /><br />Robert Huth and Vicente Iborra have so far been unavailable to Shakespeare this season, while new signing <span style="font-weight: 600;">Adrien Silva</span> may not be able to play until January, after Leicester missed the deadline to register the player.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <h3 style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-weight: 600;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Conte has fresh options for trip to Leicester</span></span></h3> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> </div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />An opening day defeat at home to <span style="font-weight: 600;">Burnley</span> suggested that there was the potential for another meltdown at Chelsea in the season following a title triumph, but they have since bounced back with two impressive victories.<br /><br />Beating Spurs away and an <span style="font-weight: 600;">Everton</span> team that took a point away from home against Manchester City, are notable scalps. Chelsea's squad does look thin considering that they must now defend their title and also compete in the Champions League, but unfortunately for Leicester this match comes before - not after - a midweek Champions League tie.<br /><br />Key to Chelsea's hopes this season is the form of new signing <span style="font-weight: 600;">Alvaro Morata</span>. With Diego Costa having been frozen out, his fellow Spanish international Morata has to hit the ground running. So far he's delivered, scoring in two of his three Premier League appearances.<br /><br />Antonio Conte could have the opportunity to select <span style="font-weight: 600;">Eden Hazard</span> for the first time this season, after the Belgian featured for his country during the international break.
